THE FISH-BAIT WAR.
Rumor that British Men of War Will Speedily
Appear Unless Settlement Is Reached.

OTTAWA, Ont. Jan. 29-It is positively
stated in official circles here tonight that the
British government has, in accordance with
an appeal from the Dominion Cabinet,
given Sir John Macdonald assurance that if the
fishery trouble is not settled before the fishing
season opens, they will dispatch several
of their menof-war to cooperate
with the Dominion cruisers in enforcing
the fishery regulations. This is the important
communication to which reference was made
few days ago, that Sir Charles Upper
was bearing from the British gov
eminent, and which he laid before the
Cabinet on Wednesday last, on his return from
England. A similar course was pursued by the
British government in 1870, before the treaty of
Washington was signed. Sir John Macdonald
declines to confirm or deny the report
A Cabinet Minister, speaking on the subject,
expressed himself as follows: II have come to
the conclusion that American legislators. having
gone far, will never yield their consent to the
appointment of a commission. Gloucester fish
ermen will not venture into our waters again in
force, and next April will witness the first
startling falling off in their trade. Two years
hence the splendid Yankee fishing fleet will be
thing of the past. Let them resort to retalia-
ton If they will, and the result will be that the
game will work both ways. Portland. now
winter port of Canada, will decline, while Hall
fax, under the new order of things. will flourish.
Civil war between the Eastern and Western
States would follow the adoption of retaliatory

Horrifyins Features of the BohIe Murder.

New YORK, Jan. 29.-The remains of the
butchered German. August Bohle, reached this
city this morning. They were taken to the
morgue and examined by the coroner. The feet
had been cut off just above the ankles, the flesh
having been carefully cut around with razor
and the bone sawed into with meat saw. Tho
legs had been cut from the trunk in the SAND
way at the thickest part of the thigh, just below
the hip joint. Even in cutting the head off,
saw had been used to sever the spinal column.
The cut was made across the cervical vertebra.
and if the head should be found, the greater
part Of the neck will be found with it. The left
arm had been amputated at the shoulder, but
the right arm was in its place. The little ingef
of the right hand had been severed by the SUR
geons who performed the autopsy in Maryland.
1t was apparently this finger which was stiff
and permanently bent. Examination of this
finger showed three scars that indicated that
the tendons had once been cut. in which case the
finger would remain stiff. The trunk was not
opened. 1t will be photographed after being
pieced together and set upon pedestal After
ward. the post-mortem examination will be COM
pleted. The stomach is still in Baltimore, but
is expected here to-day. The police still
searching for the head, which will settle the
question of identity.

when those who had held human souls in bond
age were called before the Judgment throne to
be passed upon for deeds done in the flesh. It
was touching appeal and brought out streams
of tears and storms of applause from the very
men who had but few hours before shot at and
captured him. At moment when the most
pathetic touches were being given his remarks,
General Forrest, whose command had made the
capture, rushed into the crowd all aglow with
excitement, but not anger, and exclaimed:
Here. Ingersoll, stop that speech, and I'll
exchange you for government mule.

THE DEVILS SECTION.
A Region in Indiana in Which Dark and Mys-
FERROUS Crimes Have Been Committed.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
MARTrNsvILGE, Ind, Ja1. 29.-Considerable
excitement has been caused in the southern edge
of Morgan and the northern part of Mon
roe counties by the discovery Of
q human skeleton in the southern
part of this county. The spot where the bones
of the dead man were discovered is in one of the
deepest and darkest eorges in Indiana. through
which man can travel for miles without see
ing a glimpse of the sun. In this section
grows some fine timber, and buyers
from different parts of the country
are constantly buying and working it into
spokes, slaves, etc. About three years ago there
came into this rough and wild country an In
dianapolis man by the name of Armstrong, en-
gagged in buying spoke timber. Shortly after
his arrival he mysteriously disappeared, and
for a long time not the slightest clew
could be discovered as to his whereabouts AS
he had considerable money his person, and
had started out prospecting. and never returned,
the citizens who lived in that part of the coun-
try concluded that he had been murdered and
thrown into some of the deep, dark recesses of
nature, and paid little or no attention
to the circumstance at the time. just why his
relatives never investigated this matter none
can explain. The gun which he had with him
when he started prospecting is said to be IN the
possession of man in that section A detect

of this mysterious deed may yet be made pu bile.
Several years prior to this murder a negro in
this same section was hired to kill'a man by the
name of Sox. He was afterward captured, and
confessed his crime Bu5 this does not
end the crime, of this Devils Section. I"
wealthy Kentuckian who had come into this
section to purchase land some years ago, gave
up his life and what money he had accumulated
in this same region. When he was last seen he
was riding in the direction of White river, and
was never afterward heard OF. His horse
and saddle were found near the river the day
following. A strong suspicion Immediately set

he was bewitched or haunted, and soon
wasted away to a mere skeleton. Many were
there who believed in his stories of ghosts and
'ghost-land" but some of the oldest residents
believed him to have been mentally deranged
by the burden of his crime, and that he died,
leaving behind almost positive proof that he
was o murderer.

were at hand, only two of the party smoked.
Again the eyes of the host podded, and ne was

some years ago. He lost SIG, 600 the
first six months, out stuck to it and ne is
now immensely wealthy. There are g.

From 5000 to 10000 gallons of blood sre
used in the Bridgeport factory every dey.
Nothing but fresh beef blood is used.
Considerable of the blood evaporates
during the process Of drying, but what
remains is pure slbumen. Some of il is
light in color and some dark, sccording
to the chemical treatment given if.
These thin sheets Of blood are then
broken up and are ready to be
worried into various shapes and sizes.
Large quantities of the blood sheets
are used by cloth manufacturers for mset-

only are buttons made from blood in this
way, but tons of earrings, breastpins.
belt clasps, combs and trinkets are made
